Song: Christ Arose
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign;
He arose! … He arose! …
Hallelujah! Christ arose! …
(Lyrics & music: Robert Lowry)
The Grave Opened
Matthew 27:51-53 “Then the curtain in the Temple was torn into two pieces, from the top to the bottom. Also, the earth shook and rocks broke apart. The graves opened, and many of God's people who had died were raised from the dead. They came out of the graves after Jesus was raised from the dead and went into holy city, where they appeared to many people” (NCV).
Paul brought the Good News to the Christians at Corinth, an ancient city of Greece. He passed on the Good News about Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures says; that he was buried, and was raised to life on the third day. Christ was seen by Peter, twelve apostles, 500 believers at the same time, James and finally Paul in vision (1 Cor. 15:1-11).
Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o'er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever with His saints to reign;
He arose! … He arose! …
Hallelujah! Christ arose! …

What was the most powerful witness
of Jesus' resurrection? I choose Matthew 27:53. Why? Because God's people came
out of the graves after Jesus arose and they met many people in Jerusalem, the holy city.
I could imagine the great excitement of those who came out of the graves and
greet the people who knew them. It might have been a big shock when families
and old friends have seen them “alive after being dead in the grave.”
Let us rejoice that our Lord has risen!
Let us rejoice that our Lord has risen!
